Taking away kickoffs is just not football.

Permanent brain injury isn’t either.

Oh, stop it! If that is the problem then don't play football as it is at all. Play flag and then everyone will be happy...except those that want to watch football.

When I first started plying rugby I had several concussions. After awhile I learned how to tackle and not hurt myself. I've said before tackling is a lost art in football!

Not sure if you had ever read this.

I think I am missing something...

I don't see how using smaller faster guys is going to help... only going to make it worse.

That wasn't the league's intention, but it will end up being the consequence. It shows you how out of touch the league office actually is when it comes to actual football matters. They fail to pass it by the real football people to find out the plausible end result.

The league is really dug in on safety on kickoffs but is lacking in other areas.

I really question the data of "5 times more likely to be injured on a KO"

I'm not saying coaches are not part of the Competition Committee, I am saying that those coaches probably had an idea of the result of the proposed rule and either the ownership portion of the committee ignored their input or the coaches didn't share those ideas forcibly enough.

Although, when it comes down to it, the owners get the final vote on the proposed changes coming out of the committee.

We have tackling drills regularly at rugby practice......I don't think it's allowed in football practice anymore.:wink:
